Perry Lee Collins of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, passed away Sunday, July 26, 2015 at the age of 51. He was born March 7, 1964, in Tahlequah, the son of Broxer Collins Jr.; he was raised by his beloved grandmother, Pearl (Ryder) Collins.
He grew up in the community of Woodall. He attended town school and graduated from Tahlequah High in 1982.
After high school, Perry went to work for Midwestern Nursery and worked there for 10 years. He worked until his disabilities would no longer let him continue.
Perry loved gardening, fishing, bowling, stock car races, and OU football of course; most of all he loved his family. Perry was a sweet, thoughtful, and gentle soul who appreciated all the little blessings and everyday kindnesses shown him. Perry was forgiving of others struggles and flaws – more so than most of us. When he was diagnosed with cancer, he displayed great hope and courage, and he managed to find the joy in every day.
Perry was a member of Crescent Valley Baptist Church and as a boy, he accepted Christ. He is now fishing that crystal lake in the sky, and that's no fish story.
Perry is preceded in death by his grandmother, Pearl (Ryder) Collins,
His is survived by his father, Boxer Collins, Jr.; sister, Annette (Collins) Beaverson and husband, Ronnie; a brother, Randall Wayne Collins and wife Michele; nieces, Brianna Collins, Mariah Collins and Nephew, Kendall Collins; sister, Wanda Roberts and husband, James and their three children Daniel, Jazzmine, and Jayson; and brother, Douglas Collins; and a sister, Pam and her two sons; along with aunts, uncles, and cousins whom he loved.
A host of family and friends say goodbye for now. We know we will see you again someday. We love you, and you will be missed.
2 Timothy 4:6-7 For I am now ready to be offered up, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
